Definition: Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is an agro-ecological farming system that avoids chemical fertilizers and pesticides, relying on natural inputs.

Key Points:

• Core pillars include Beejamrit, Jivamrit, Whapasa, and Mulching.
• Inputs are locally sourced, often using indigenous cow-based formulations.
• ZBNF aims to reduce input costs rather than maximize short-term yields.
